Most resellers overestimate their profit. Not by a little — by 25 to 40%.
That’s the finding from London-based software developer Oleksandr Prudnikov, who spent a year tracking every single item his wife bought and sold as a reseller.
Every car boot sale entry fee. Every gallon of gas. Every padded envelope and roll of tape.
And the numbers told a very different story than what we expected.
What if you could build an always-on AI chief operating officer that handles your SEO, manages your inbox, and runs customer support — all for $200 a month?
That’s exactly what Jacques Hopkins has done with his 13-year-old online course business, Piano in 21 Days.
He built an AI operator named Rocky using free, open-source software called OpenClaw — and says it’s replaced a $3,500/month SEO agency, cut his customer support time, and made March 2026 his highest-profit month since COVID.
Longtime listeners will recognize Jacques from his previous appearances on the show (this is actually his 10th appearance).
He runs Piano in 21 Days and The Online Course Guy, and this episode he’s back to break down how he set up his AI operator, what it’s actually doing for his business, and why he thinks this is the most fun he’s ever had in his work.
Yes, you really can get paid to play video games.
With the rise of Esports, Twitch, and professional gamers, there’s never been a better time to monetize your video game hobby.

(I’m up $105 so far, in exchange for about an hour and a half.)
Watching videos is something we all do every day.
It’s basically a side effect of being online.
But did you know you can actually get paid to watch videos online?
For his side hustle, this week’s guest didn’t start from scratch. Instead, he bought a business that was already profitable, then he went out and tripled the revenue in his first year — all while working a full-time job.
Jono Santamaria from Melbourne, Australia is the proud owner of Nina’s Laundrette, a local self-service laundromat.
One of the easiest side hustles to get started with is getting paid to share your data.
Big data is big business, generating an estimated $270 billion by 2026.
And as individuals, we create a lot of data every day. For decades, we’ve freely given that data away to big companies like Google and Facebook. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value.
Here are some legit ways to turn that data into dollars in your pocket.

What if you could set up the same tents and pillows every weekend — and get paid $800 to $1,000 each time you did it?
That’s exactly what Anne McGraw has built with Firefly Slumber Parties, a luxury tent slumber party rental business based in Nashville. Anne and her husband run it as a side hustle while both working demanding full-time jobs, and last weekend alone they did five parties at $800 to $1,000 each.
The idea came from Anne’s daughter, who spotted the concept on TikTok or Instagram back in 2020. There was nobody doing it in Nashville at the time, so they decided to build it themselves.
They connected with a couple in Chattanooga who was doing something similar and got some early tips on what to buy and how to set up. A few years later, they ended up buying out that Chattanooga business when the owners decided to close.
